Where America’s youth go online to avoid Mom and Dad

Snapchat. (This app’s files self-destruct. The service is designed for savvy teenagers who don’t want to leave an Internet footprint) www.snapchat.com

Twenty-six
percent of 18- to 29-year-olds with cellphones use Snapchat, according to Pew
Research Center, compared with 5% of 30- to 49-year-olds and 3% of 50- to
64-year-olds. Parents might want to monitor and check in on their kids’ social
media activity from time to time, says Kelli Krafsky, coauthor of the book
“Facebook and Your Marriage,” but “Snapchat is impossible to check.” —By
